WA Demon Boy 966 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Jones, Tmac and AVB we can't carry anymore Have to tap the first two on the shoulder and AVB we simply can't take into 2021 2
GCDee 3,203 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 I think the flood gates will open QTR three and we will begin to convert and we will take a 5 goal lead into the last, we look an absolute class above. If the umpiring was fair we would be 2-3 goals further ahead right now.

But still lost the CP count. -12 CPs, -12 hit outs, even in clearances, but the telling stat, +12 in inside 50s for a 5-point lead. Melksham's putting in yet another half-hearted shocker. Fritsch is nowhere. Jones took a quarter to get going. vandenBerg and Harmes are making too many errors. May's a step behind where he was last week. TMac's not a ruckman and not working into it. Petracca, Weideman, Oliver and Lever are carrying us at the moment. We have a lot of room for improvement and should, if we have any self-respect, win this game well. I think Fritsch is playing decoy at FF which I’m not mad about. No shocker to lose the ruck against two proper rucks when we have TMac and 6 gamer in there. We need to win more contested footy in the middle. Do that and we should win.

It always seems just always 1-3 metres from being a ultra clean disposal. He is great to watch regardless. And he is still young and developing..

Oh calm down mate. The umpires are coming off a 4 day break. 1 4

He had some real influence out on the wing. 2
Tom Dyson 1,645 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Really liked Angus so far, Jackson trying really hard but he’s just 10cm worse off. Need to really keep going hard in the next two quarters. Come on demons!!!!

Involved in some good forward movement. The disappointment for me is Melksham. Captain needs to stand up. Been soft in the contest. Not good enough. Needs to go hard and smash some contests. 1

Gawndy the Great 9,011 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 11 - 5 scoring shots and yet just 5 points up. We look more dominant - just need score board pressure. Umps again sub par - better though in the 2nd quarter. Need to put them away in the 3rd quarter - they are just hanging on.

The guy is finished and should have retired at the end of 2018.
titan_uranus 25,255 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Melksham, Hannan, Spargo, Fritsch and Weideman have laid 4 tackles between them. Surprisingly, Melksham has 2 of them (Hannan and Spargo 1 each).
WA Demon Boy 966 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Ok Jones has been good - but this has to be his last year is what I'm saying Tmac + AVB included At least from an MFC perspective 1

Red But Mostly Blue 4,632 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Loving the Weid tonight. Great hands, gets into good spaces, and look at that - some delivery! He should be converting those chances, but I'm not too upset about that, everything else is falling into place. Been a good string of games.
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 If we can kick the first couple of the second half then I really think we can put the foot down like we did against the Crows last week. We are clearly the better side, but we're allowing North to stay in the game which gives them a sniff. Take that away and I'd like to think we can win the game.
Deecisive 1,709 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 what is frustrating is that the commentators are not talking too much about the umpiring. They are watching the same game as us and can see exactly the same thing as us, they should be calling it for what it is. The melbourne players that took a mark after the north player front charged him and knocked him over in the forward line and while the melbourne players was on the ground punched the north player in the leg pretty meekly an in all and it got reversed. really.... 1

I rarely get into the umpires but if this keeps up my TV screen is unlikely to survive this game 3 Dropping the balls in front of umpire 31 not paid to us and then pings our player after 1 second for holding the ball. Is there such a thing as an Umpires Adviser who watches their umpiring?
Rodney (Balls) Grinter 11,064 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 To an extent I don't care if we win by 2 goals or 20 goals from here, we have just got to GET THE JOB DONE. 1
